Great. Now they think all old people are senile and incontinent.

Only Commies deal in absolutes!

There's some old Ursula LeGuin quote, to paraphrase, "Science fiction movies are 20 years behind the literature." She said that in the 1970s, but it's still true and certainly true of superhero movies.

The Anti-Vaccination crowd is one of those wonderful instances where the extreme left and extreme right meet in the middle and have filthy, germ-ridden children. You might be a bongo-playing welcome mat, but soon your views will fly out of the mouths of the folks who buy Chinese clothing made out of American flags.

It’s pretty apparent that the producers of this show have never seen a woman in a comic book shop and are laboring away in some delusional Big Bang Theory Universe. At times it seems like a satire of clueless men trying to make superhero crap appealing to girls. They stop just short of a…

When I was a little kid, I watched "Frankenstein" which was apparently the scariest movie ever. I laughed through most of it. No laughs watching "The Exorcist" though.

I was raised by an atheist and an agnostic. I can count on one hand the number of times I've attended church services. I think the power of this movie has simply been diminished by time and countless poor imitations. The core idea is terrifying: Something can take your body away from you and destroy your identity.…

One thing about Zardoz: It's the greatest compendium of in-camera practical special effects I've ever seen. Because of this, it also resembles a vintage light show at the UFO Club. You know what to do.

Yep, imagine being a music dork living in a small rural town in the early 1980s. One late night you turn on the TV and there's Throbbing Gristle.

I am of the firm belief that an artificial intelligence will simply view us as a problem to be solved.

The problem here is that we're trying to create artificial intelligence, but there's nothing around to model it upon.

Spoiler: The first two seasons take place in three different motel rooms.

Me: Eliza called. She wants her artificial intelligence back.

If you watch every single other movie by David Lynch, you'll note the one truly wrong thing about Dune: That Fucking Toto Soundtrack ("I've Seen The Rain Down in Arrakis"). It isn't so much that it's horrible (which it is) it's that music is critical to every other film he's made.

Wow, almost as obscure as dbx noise-reduction encoded vinyl records! Those had near-digital spex so, naturally, they never caught on and were used solely for broadcasting.

I would have killed to have access to technology like this when I was young. Instead, I obsessively drew flipbook style animated cartoons in the page border of thrift store hardcover books. I drew hundreds of those things. My computer-free childhood was characterized by such chronological injustice.

When you get to be as old as I am, the popularity of people like Donald Trump doesn't surprise you at all.

Next time with The Free Design, "Never Tell The World": A breezy confection about being eternally stuck in the closet.

Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you.

I think this film addresses the concern that Veggie Tales was turning good Christian children into filthy vegetarians.
